Bibek:-When did you start playing guitar? What
brings you in this kind of music?
Andy Romero: - Hmmmm I started playing
Guitar on April 2008 with the inspiration of Musician like Dave Mustaine and Marty Friedman...Me and my my other guitarist helped each other for learning guitar. So there never came a time for us to music school
haha but we will for classical and Jazz classes...
Bibek:-Which
brand guitar do you use?
Bibek: - Which
is your favorite band?
Andy Romero:
- I love every band but I got a different feeling when ir comes to Angra...
Bibek:- Did
the Andy which I see now have some trouble in his early stage as a musican?
Andy
Romero:- Well not I didn't really struggle, I love doing it and want to keep
doing this for the rest of my life
Bibek: - As a musican; are you supported by your friends and family?
Andy
Romero: - Off course, I am supported if they won’t support why they let me live
with them, and also they often visit my gigs, but since they're Christians
they wanted me to play for church hahaha……….
Bibek: - What
you do beside music?
Andy
Romero: - Most of the time I'm playing, but when I'm not I watch anime and play
some video games
Bibek:- What
you find to be great problem when you start a band?
Andy
Romero: - Well the hardest thing is finding cool and dedicated people. They
will join you band play few gig and leave you and join another that doesn’t
make any sense as a musician... So it is hard to fine people in music.
Bibek: - When
you are composing your own music what do you find to be a problem?
Andy
Romero: - When the ideas don't flow out, for example I'd make some riffs then I
won't work on them until I feel that other riffs fit in those
"riffs". Yeah it takes a while too...
Bibek: - What
are problem during managing your band?
Andy
Romero: - Well we don't have a manager and getting shows isn't that hard since
we play local still.
Bibek:- Did
your band member has been changed yet?
Andy
Romero: - Yeah we've been through changes as we have changed our two drummers and we added a vocalist..
Bibek: - What it
makes you to change your band member?
Andy
Romero: - Well we didn't actually change him, but he went back to his family
back to Mexico
Have you
been paying in all of your gigs?
Andy
Romero: - Yes, even once I played as a Drummer as our drummer is out for a
Vacation.
Bibek: - Do
your organizer pay you for your gig?
Andy
Romero: - Nope, not once haha but it didn’t mean we fell bad or something like that
actually, we will eventually start charging for shows, but now I'm happy when I
at least see people bang their heads to our tunes. Yes! I appreciate the art,
but hopefully I and the band can live off of it one day.
Bibek: -
In USA what problem did metal band are facing?
Andy
Romero: - Well I'd say lack of people that appreciate the music; too many
people that just listen to one thing and nothing else.
So it's
really hard to even decide to start a band. In the end if it's what you like
doing then you'll have no problem even if you never made it big.
Bibek:- What
you find to be your problem in playing guitar?
Andy
Romero: - Lack of motivation. That's been my greatest weakness! haha
There's an
old tip for all guitarist... It is to take breaks from it, like a day or two a
week, but I hardly missed like a week or two in this whole 4-5 years of
playing.
I don't
practice every day either, but I play it.
Bibek:- What
do you pick as most important theme to make song’s lyrics?
Andy
Romero: - I don't write the lyrics, but when my mates do they are about
politics, space wars, and based off of books they read. Or sometimes we would
all pick a theme and they would start from scratch.
Bibek: - What
is your future plan about your band?
Andy
Romero: - To start touring and get recognized as a band which music has
something different than other. A band who gave a new taste to music industry
